Carbon Costume dancer
P2 from “Stop Drop Roll” in Just Dance 2022
In the music video for Ayo & Teo’s “Stop Drop Roll” in Just Dance 2022, P2 represents Yamirami. He’s a dancer dressed in urban hip-hop wear, including a red jaguar print jacket and black baggy pants. He wears two gold chains, and yellow sunglasses and a yellow glove on his left hand to match.
Cha-U-Kao
Cha-U-Kao, the Moulin Rouge performer and clown of the 1890s, was made famous in a series of paintings by Henri Touslouse-LauTrec. Very little is known about her, except for the fact that she was a lesbian. Cha-U-Kao had a distinctive look with a yellow and black outfit and white hair piled up on her head.
Rasputin/Russian Man from Just Dance 2
Rasputin/Russian Man is the dancing avatar in Just Dance, most obviously for the song “Rasputin (Club Mix)” by Boney M. and G. Mart. While it’s unknown whether the performer is Rasputin or some random guy, he wears traditional Russian garb, namely a Papacha (Russian winter cap). He dances on a frozen lake in front of a winter landscape, and what appears to be St. Basil’s Cathedral, one of the most famous buildings in Moscow, Russia. For whatever reason, this dance has become a meme, from viral Tiktoks to a remix with “WAP” by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
Backpack Kid
Backpack Kid is the nickname for Russell Horning, who made a splash for his stiff-armed dance moves in a performance of “Swish Swish” with Katy Perry on Saturday Night Live. Since then the Georgia teen has performed with countless artists from Rihanna to Blac Youngsta, and has been even been mimicked in NFL touchdown celebrations.
M.C. Hammer
MC Hammer is the stage name of Stanley Burrell, an 80s hip hop artist known for his smash hits “U Can’t Touch This” and “2 Legit 2 Quit”, which feature his flashy dance moves and ultra baggy pants that came to be known simply as Hammer Pants.
Chandelier Dancer
Maddie Ziegler is the dancer in Sia’s music video for her hit single “Chandelier”. Her costume is easy enough to pull off but her dance moves might take some practice.
Britney Spears
The princess of pop first reached stardom with her hit single video, “Baby One More Time.” Britney performs the 90’s classic in a school girl uniform with a fun and unique twist.
Black Swan
In Black Swan, Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) is a talented ballerina dancer who must play both the roles of the white swan and the black swan. She’s well suited to play the innocence of the white swan, but feels overwhelming pressure from her understudy Lily (Mila Kunis), who is perfect to play the sensual black swan. Before long, her grasp on reality starts to slip.
Beyonce Single Ladies
Beyonce keeps it fabulous while singing this anthem for single ladies. She wears a simple leotard and accessorizes with some unique bling. If you’d like to take the look to the next level, grab two friends to complete the trio and work on those dance moves!
Gangnam Style Yellow Suit Guy
Yellow Suit Guy, played by popular Korean comedian Yoo Jae-Seok, is one of the few who’s danced-off against PSY and lived to tell about it. Perhaps his paparazzi specs and reflective suit have something to do with that.
